|
|
Hi to everyone here!
I've been playing the piano for around 10 years (in a relatively unserious manner), but ever since seeing a live concert by a guy called Chris Contillo, I have realised how much I would like to play more classical music, although not professionally. I started practicing Claire de Lune about 4 months ago, but now I have nearly got it sorted (of course I will keep practicing).
I enjoyed practicing it immensely, and I would like to find other pieces to play. Could anyone tell me of pieces similar in skill to Claire de Lune (I've been told about grade 8 ) that sound nice as well?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I was thinking that perhaps Liebestraum No. 3 by Liszt might be good, but is this much harder than Claire de Lune? |

Why don't you have a lesson with a teacher who could gauge your level and suggest something suitable to your level? Most teachers would give one-off lessons, and perhaps you could have a lesson every few weeks to keep you on the straight and narrow.
What sort of music do you like? If you like Debussy, then it's quite hard to suggest something similar because there's not really anything like it! The Grieg Notturno is nice...but without knowing your level and/or taste in music it's difficult to make suggestions. That's why lessons might be A Good Thing! Listen to Classic FM to get an idea of what you like...and Naxos CDs are a cheap way of finding out if you like a certain composer, or sometimes you can hear bits on Amazon. (Probably it's ALWAYS possible, but I can only make it work occasionally!) |
